Noah tells Adriana, at the tackhouse, that he can't just leave - he has to work at his dad's opening. Adriana agrees to wait. He tells her to go to the Club, and stops her from taking the money with her by saying he doesn't want her to go to prison. She leaves the bag with him. Noah calls Alex to come over.

They all join Jack, Kyle, and Billy in the office. Jack talks about the future. Neil says they all want to know if they have to wear suits and ties. Jack shrugs, "What the hell..."

Jack's impressed with her designs and thanks Billy. Later, Kyle and Jack have a bonding moment.

At the penthouse, Victor takes a call from Wheeler pressuring him to get Avery to drop her case. Victor assures him he'll take care of it. Soon, Avery arrives. Victor questions her about the case. She says the man has spent twelve years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. Victor's intrigued.

Tyler enters the Club and spots Wheeler at the bar. He turns to leave, but then decides to chat with Wheeler, who thinks Tyler looks familiar. Tyler says they met once. Wheeler leaves. Neil and Leslie join Tyler. Neil steps away and Tyler tells Leslie he talked to Wheeler - he didn't recognize him. He suggests they tell him who they are - he can see to it the bastard never gets out. Neil reappears and asks who they're talking about.

Billy walks up the hall of Jabot and finds Cane and Lily kissing. He tells them about partnering with Chloe and Chelsea. Lily sighs over Chloe being back in their lives.

Jack arrives home to an empty house. John appears, recalling how the house was once full of life. Jack leaves Ashley a message about making things right.

****************SPOILER***************** Nikki lets her secret be known to Victoria - still TNSOBIC refuse to let her share with her 'soul' mate

Paul goes up against Phyllis regarding the hit and run - I can't believe how TIIC so cavalierly shot down the H&R to now shove it down our throat. They are no better than the former crew.

Adrian isn't to smart. She let Noah sweet talk her out of the stolen. Wasn't he the azz that lost it while it was in his custody (☼Д☼) (•ˋ _ ˊ•)

@PurpleHearts - I thought Paul told Cricket to let it go regarding the hit and run. It's been so long - what are they going to do now?

~~~Me think that tourniquet on his head is too tight and constricting the blood flow and oxygen

"Avery is taken aback when Nick tells her about the new bar tender and the drink named Ripcord."

A bell should have been ringing in her head because she remembers Dylan used to call it "their" drink. IDK, just guessing.

OK - Totally out of left field ... Wheeler doesn't want Jack to admit what he did publicly. What if - and a BIG IF - the guy in jail is Keemo - Jack's older son that we never hear mentioned?

Ohhhh, CindiAnn...you're on to something there. A story involving Keemo would close one of your long time open questions/story lines wouldn't it.

Personally, I don't think the new writers are that sofisticated....just saying.

I really wanted Katherine to tell Tucker that she loves him, but, for some reason, she could say those words. I am so sorry that the NU IIC got rid of his character and hired too many others who bring NOTHING to Y&R.

RE: The characters of Ricky and Daisy are moot at this point. They are GONE. So, let them be. We'll never know any more about them, how she got out of the institution, the woman near Ricky's grave, dropped her rosary, etc. Too many unfinished story lines.
